CES: Wikipad Launching Gamevice Tablet Controller

The Android-based Wikipad got off to a bit of a rocky start.
But the developers behind the tablet/game controller have something new
up their sleeves for next week's CES show in Las Vegas. The Gamevice is
a slim, portable game controller designed to work with a wider range of
existing tablets. Wikipad president Fraser Townley says development is
currently focused on Android and Windows 8 devices.

"We have not forgotten other important OS systems and we hope to
announce additional support for those in the near future," said Townley.
For all indications, it would appear Gamevice could eventually make its
way to the burgeoning lineup of Apple-certified iOS game controllers. The company gave no indication of price or a release date.

The Gamevice controller design features a collapsable build for
portability, dual analog sticks, four shoulder buttons, a d-pad, and
four analog face buttons. An over-the-air update was also released for
Wikipad today, adding button mapping, Android 4.2, and a selection of
pre-loaded mobile games including Dead Trigger 2.
